Add marks, notes, and texts in drawings
You can add many kinds of annotation objects in your drawings, such as marks, notes, and texts. Some of these are associative and some independent.
Marks and notes are associative annotation objects, which are updated according to the changes you make in a building object in the model.
In addition to the automatic marks that you already may have in a drawing, you can add new annotation objects and modify their properties:
Add part marks manually in drawings
Add reinforcement marks manually in drawings
Add reinforcement marks with Rebar group marking application
Adjust mark visibility in an existing drawing
Add reinforcement ticks or reinforcement tags in drawings
Add and modify connection marks in drawings
Add and modify surface treatment marks in drawings
Add associative notes in drawings
Modify marks or notes in drawings
Drag leader line associativity point
Update part and weld marks in drawings
Delete marks for selected parts
Check changed marks, notes and dimensions and remove change symbols
Text, section marks, revision marks, and detail marks are independent annotation objects, which are not linked or connected to the Tekla Structures model in any way. Other examples of independent annotations objects: DWG/DXF files, symbols, various types of sketch objects, links and hyperlinks.
Independent annotation objects will become associative if you snap to a building object when you create them, because then the objects will get associativity points. For example, in texts, the content does not change when the model changes but the associativity point may change. Another example is a line: if you snap to a part edge when you create a line in a drawing, the line will get an associativity point and move with the part in the drawing if the part changes in the model.
You can add and modify texts, shapes, section marks, detail marks, DWG/DXF files, links, hyperlinks, revision marks, sketch objects, and symbols in an open drawing only.
